Can I get some comments on the current brass quality of .300 WSM cases by Federal and Winchester, since I can't seem to find Norma cases at the moment.
I bought a BAT actioned 1000yd heavy rifle in .300 WSM and have Norma cases, but need more cases. I do plan to sort and prep cases, and don't mind throwing a bunch away, but would hope they would last more than a couple of firing's at 61.0 grains of H4350 behind 210's. Nor do I want to have to throw away sixty cases or more like I did last year when sorting neck wall uniformity of 100 Winchester .257 cases.
Any opinions will be appreciated.
 
Go with the Winchester IMO, it's fairly consistent and nearly as tough as Lapua. Much harder than Norma.

I would almost echo al's opinion to choose between the two you mentioned, Winchester will serve you better. I think the flash holes are the weak spot in the Win brass, they have been for me usually not centered and oval. I would search hard for the Norma tho, I think it is the best quality to start with.
